I just don't know what to say about Arshavin, he has the numbers but his general play has become mostly sloppy and lazy, he'll pass and then not bother making a follow up run, even if Clichy is holding his position Arshavin just stands there, I've also seen him give the ball away an endless amount of times when he has a simple pass to play someone else in. It's hard to argue with the stats, he's had a hand in what, 17 or 18 goals this season? That's great for someone who appears to underachieve given his natural talent.

It's easy for people to criticise others choices without giving any of their own though. I also can't believe somebody put Shay Given as an Arsenal "in", personally I'm more than happy with Szczesny and Fabianski.
 
Aye, what stats often can't tell you is how many goals or how much extra pressure playing Arshavin has meant. Would we have been defensively more secure otherwise.
 
Tottenham only need a new striker or two and maybe a new right back and another central defender.

Then I can see the following leaving for good: O'Hara, Keane, Pav ( :( ), Woodgate, Alnwick, Hutton, Bentley, Palacios, Kranjcar and dos Santos. That's nearly a starting 11 there!

We don't need to do anything else with midfield as far as I'm concerned. But if we sign Parker, I won't be disappointed unless we end up paying over the top for him. No way do we want to pay more than £8m now they're being relegated.

And with the Europa league potentially on the horizons, I'd like to see both Kyles, Rose, Bostock, Livermore, Obika, Townsend, Carroll etc all getting a shot at that. We need to start bringing some of these youngsters through. We've got a lot of talent there that needs to be developed. Get 'em in the group stages and tell them it doesn't matter how well they do, just play and learn.

VdS, Brown (is his contract up?), Scholes, Gibson (surely...), Obertan and one of Berbatov or Owen I think.

I dont believe Brown's contract is up no
Why would Gibson being going anywhere? I know he may not be the fans cup of tea but Fergie obviously thinks otherwise
Obertan, maybe on loan but on the flip side of that we'll have Welbeck, Macheda, Diouf and Cleverly back
Berbatov wont be leaving
Owen may or may not
 
I would have thought Brown would want to go, how many games has he played this season? He's just not going to get a look in now that the twins and Smalling have staked their claim.

Gibson was more hope tbh, at the very least I'd like him to go on loan somewhere.

Cleverley should go straight into the first team squad with Welbeck probably, I'm uncertain about the other two.
 
Why do you think Berbatov will go? I know he's not getting loads of game time at the moment, but I hadn't noticed any dissatisfaction from him about it. He seems happy to play the team game at the moment.
 
Is he? It's hard to tell with him to be honest, he's looked low on confidence. I just don't think it's worth keeping an unconfident player round to sit on the bench as a bit-part player.
